Bug Description
(from mpt)
1. On <http://
What you see:
* "Convert to a question"
* "This bug cannot be converted into a question. This bug may be valid in other locations, or it is not valid in any locations. Only one location must be valid for a bug to be convertible to a question."
* "Some bug reports are really questions, or the reporter is confused, and an explanation is needed. In such cases, the bug can made into a question. When a bug is made into a question, the bug's status is set to Invalid. The new question will be linked to the bug."
What you should see:
* The link should not be clickable at all. Instead it should be greyed out, with a tooltip saying "Not available because this bug report is filed against more than one location. Instead, ask a question from scratch."
* Alternatively, Launchpad should just let you go ahead and convert the bug report to a question regardless.
(from mrevell)
I'd like to suggest a third option:
* Launchpad offers the option to create a new question, with no effect on the bug report's status.
